Crypto News-The ongoing story of El Salvador’s government-operated Bitcoin wallet, Chivo, takes a new turn as hackers reveal further sensitive details linked to the wallet.

El Salvador: Hackers release code of government Bitcoin wallet

The hacking collective known as CiberInteligenciaSV disclosed a portion of the source code on the black hat hacking crime forum BreachForums on April 23.

This time, I present the code found within the Bitcoin Chivo Wallet ATMs in El Salvador. Keep in mind that this is a government-managed wallet, and as our policy dictates, we do not sell, but rather freely share all information with you, stated the hacker group.

The development comes in the wake of a string of incidents linked to Chivo hacks, notably the widespread exposure of personal data belonging to 5.1 million Salvadorans — nearly the entire adult populace of the nation — which surfaced in early April.

Local cybersecurity initiative VenariX took to X on April 22 to caution the public about the impending leak. It referenced CiberInteligenciaSV’s Telegram channel, where discussions about releasing the source code were underway.

The Chivo wallet experienced a rocky launch, with users later encountering various bugs and technical issues.

Despite reports of a personal data breach involving Chivo emerging in early April, the Salvadoran government has yet to acknowledge the matter.

Industry sources suggest that El Salvadoran authorities have not issued any official statement regarding the breach, further adding to the confusion surrounding the incident.
